Anybody hear this? Just happened in the last hour. Two bombs went off near the finish line, injuring many. News reports don't have much info yet from what I am seeing.

That...sucks. I'm glad I don't know anyone running this year, or I'd be freaking the fuck out right now.

Lots of Blood in pictures I saw.
Hopefully they get to the bottom of this quick. There has to be cameras going everywhere as big as the event is and the FBI will actively participate with all their resources.

Prolly gun nuts targeting the runners from newtown. The explosions went off very near to those families but it seems like they were not hurt.

Dude, not right now.
I have to tell you, this is hitting me much harder than those school shootings. I seriously can't focus on anything right now.

20 slaughtered six year olds hit me a lot harder, but I respect you and your feelings so I'm out of here. No offense intended.

This is fucking outrageous. I have lots of family ties to Boston, and despite not having been there in years, it's always been a second home to me.
I feel like this is a homegrown fringe attack.
Fuck. This.

There is literally nothing worse than the slaughter of children. Nothing exists that is worse. Not this, not anything.

I'm not offended, and it certainly doesn't mean Huntderp74 and DB are any less assholes. Just don't feel liek dumping on while the streets are literally full of blood. And I can't explain why this hit me harder than the school shootings, since I used to be a grade school teacher. I do know several people, including my dad, who have run the Boston Marathon many times.

The school shootings were very difficult for me since I take my son to school daily. Bombs and mass shootings should not happen.

How bout the runners that are running right by the explosion and see a few runners go down. I saw one gal that kept checking her watch to see if she was still on time and just kept trucking.

I'm not saying that those killings didn't hit me, I'm just saying my reaction to the marathon thing is very profound and frankly unexpected. I don't have kids, but I do have nieces and nephews, a million cousins, former students, and over a dozen teenagers I mentor. Even after those school shootings, I never imagined anyone would go into their schools and murder them though.

The bombs seem to have been packed with ballbearings which is why you only see a few runners drop while others around them keep on going.

I checked out the minute by minute updates on DeadSpin and it's fucking horrific. What a shame. So much violence and hate in this fucking country.

Why am I not shocked by the fucking derp in this thread.
You know I get trying to be funny on the Internet and understand that is what a lot who post here like to do. To me there is just a time and a place for that kind of shit and it isn't so close after an event like this.
It's one think to troll a fucking message board full of assholes and idiots but doing it on this board where in most cases all/most of us have met the other posters is just fucking sad.
Carry on, I'm out.

Post deleted.
I need to remember that while I am completely cynical and have no scared cows, some of you are not and do. And like I said to Ghost, since I respect y'all, I'll refrain going forward.
Sorry, Hoffa.

Is there getting to be so many of these incidents or is the 3rd week in April just a bad time.

My sister in law ran this year and we haven't been able to reach her. Her projected time was about 15 min less than when the bomb went off so that's kinda good news...

Nothing funny or worth derping about in any of this. Serious stuff and indications are a Saudi national MAY be involved. But too early to say for sure. If you believe in something bigger than yourself, pray for the care and well being of the injured and extend sympathies to friends and family of those killed or seriously wounded. Also pray for Boston, America and its leaders at a perilous time.
